A Wearle of dragons set out on an expedition from their home planet and was never heard from again. Now, a new Wearle, determined to find the first, has come to the place its creatures call Erth.

But when Gabrial causes an accident that results in a baby dragon going missing, he will have to prove himself worthy of remaining with the Wearle at all.

When conflict erupts between the dragons and humankind, Ren does the unimaginable, crossing into dragon territory. Will he be able to gain the dragons’ trust and prevent an all-out war?
